Chicago v New York

"The number of murders this year will be lower than any time in recorded city history," Bloomberg said Friday in a statement announcing that homicides in the city this year had fallen to 414 — the fewest since it started keeping such statistics in 1963.

About the same time Friday, Chicago police were trying to get the message out that their city hadn't actually recorded its 500th homicide this year, as was being reported. A few hours later, they had to backtrack and acknowledge that, yes, in fact, "the city has seen its 500th homicide for 2012."

That's right: There were more homicides this year in Chicago than in New York, a city with three times the population. That means Chicagoans were proportionally 3.7 times more likely to be homicide victims than New Yorkers were in 2012

McCarthy watch is in full swing. Remember, when Rahm says he has full confidence in Garry and no plans to replace him, 72 hours is the over/under.

190 Comments:

If Rahm steps off the plane, sees his shadow and runs back inside the Downtown Tower of Bullshit it means 52 more weeks of shootings!

We got's to get's these assault weapons off the streets! The large magazines too. KEEP REPEATING IT!

Like if we had banned them the 500 Chicago homicides would be reduced by...ummm reduced by...re...oh never mind.

Almost every one of these mass murders there's a suicidal person behind them. So what does Rahm do? He closes mental health centers that may intervene in time and sends up an assault weapon ban smokescreen.

Bloomberg is rubbing this in 'way past the point of -- well, it could never have been called "gentlemanly ribbing" like a Chicago-pizza-vs.-New-York-pastrami sports bet, as the subject is literally deadly serious.

Yeah but we're getting a $55 mil. dollar park WITH THE NAME "DALEY" ON IT!

That's more important then people.

NYC doesn't have anything with the name Daley on it so this will help attract the tourist.

We need the tourist to park in the $6.50 an hour parking places and pay for the inflated gasoline.

Soon to gamble in the downtown casino's after we talk all the union workers into taking cuts because we have no money and are all in this together.

(Shhhh, don't talk about the money the casino will generate until AFTER we get all the give backs on the union worker contracts. The pay cuts, health care cuts, pension cuts, that we hide by using the label "reform")

Watch. "we have no money, we have no money" Oh the contracts are done and the give backs have been legalized? Oh look here's a casino and we have some money now. Look at all this money. Oh-no not for you..for our friends to dole out on no-bid city contracts. Woo-hoo.

"we are so happy to do this for you"

Oh and the $300,000 per mile bike paths (if we ever get the paint on the lanes right)

I blame Mayor Evil One more than I blame McCarthy. Not hiring enough cops to patrol this town is criminal. The city always has money to waste on bikes lanes, a new city park for the late Maggie Daley, and now $1 Million to put veggie gardens in public schools. Always money for things that make the Evil One look good. If you plan to live in this town you had better be packing or have a really good escape route when the Mutant Gangsters are chasing your arce down the street.

Nothing to see here folks, oh look over there at the shiny New Years stuff..lol

Criminal Roundup, 12/29

In the you know how it is column, we have the following.

First, Eric (Place)Holder received some "unexpected" support from -- you guessed it -- Democrats in Congress, who used the cover the holidays to file the following:

A little-noticed brief filed last Thursday by House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform Ranking Member Elijah Cummings and fellow Democrats John Conyers, Jr., Henry A. Waxman, Edolphus Towns and Louise M. Slaughter, asks the United States District Court for the District of Columbia to dismiss without prejudice the civil complaint by the Oversight Committee against Eric Holder following the Attorney General being found in contempt of Congress for refusing to produce subpoenaed documents related to the Fast and Furious gunwalking investigation.

This is, because, well, the chief law enforcement officer of the country shouldn't actually have to obey the law. That's for us peasants, you see.

Next we have the NY Shooter. Yes, that one; the wonderful nice guy who shot and killed firefighters -- after lighting a fire on purpose. The media has been oddly silent about this "mass shooting", and with good reason: This clown did 17 years in prison for killing his 92-year old grandmother with a hammer, and we let him out.

http://market-ticker.org/akcs-www?post=215445

There's you "BROKEN WINDOWS BULLSHIT" that the laws matter.

Meanwhile as the "fiscal cliff" drama is ratcheted up who wants to make a bet that a last minute deal is done at something like 4am in the morning there too, while taxpayers are either loaded from NYE celebration or fast asleep and away from their TV's and radio's

You know that they don't want you to see what's in the bills coming up.

Boy how Obama paid and helped out Rham. But Rham would rather spend millions of leftover money on a bullshit gardening project instead of ever fixing or erecting a fence for the officers who work at the old 007. What a shame Thor had to die and nothing was ever done by the city to make sure nohting like that ever happened again. All I see is some bullshit wooden police horses put up. What a joke. Remember that next time you work Violence on your day off hard chargers bringing in numbers for a city that doesn't give a fuck about you.

Ok what we do know is that there are 500+ homicides for 2012. What we do NOT KNOW is how many thousands of people were shot and survived in Shitcawgo this year? I would love to see the agg batt / handgun stats they must be thru the roof that's why no mention of them!! BUT crime is down in those hand picked categories so not too worry!! LMFAO

Anonymous said...But were they inside or outside homicides? Was there an increase in the decrease of the increase? How do you know do much about squirrels??

12/30/2012 12:23:00 AM

Get it straight already. The innies are increasing, and the outties are decreasing. Or is it vice versa? Don't concern yourself with homicide numbers--all the rest of the crime in the city is in an increasing decreasing pattern.

Didn't Bloomberg make fun of Rahm with some similar comments not long ago? What's the ill will due to (other than they're both assholes)? Did they have a specific run-in over something? Funny as hell. Rahm must hate Bloomberg, otherwise he'd have copied the taxes on Big Gulps and infant formula or whatever the hell it is.

Bloomberg has Rudy's racist Stop&Frisk policies to thank for the crime reduction. There's nothing but cowardice preventing the implementation of Terry vs Ohio in Chicago or nationwide. The actual problem is not enough important Liberals like Bloomy live in Chicago to get away with it.

I have a book. It is a good book. I started reading it. It is a very good book. My Chief of Staff was reading it to me. Most of my Chief's of Staff were reading it to me. Now I have no Chief of Staff. Maggie used to throw it at me. I miss being Mayor.

Schenkel won't get to be new Supt cuz he'd intimidate 9.5 and emasculate McNoballs. Gary was my ADS in 026 over 10 years ago. The guy is smart, friendly, professional, and wood kick most excepts behinds. It makes far too much sense to have a decorated marine run the show. Colonel is good peeps!!!!!

My wife and I are both CPD. Our son suffers from seizures which most of the time we can handle. But our 6 year old son had an episode where he wasn't coming around. We called 911 and CFD responded IMMEDIATELY! Stabilized our son and took him to the Hospital where he was admitted for 3 days. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts CFD!!! Our beef is that we assumed the city waived ambulance fees for FAMILY of CPD and CFD. Keep getting threatening notices from the city that we will be sued or loose our jobs! We both work in districts where numerous idiots are shot every fuckin day. Do they pay for services rendered by CFD? Sorry but blood starting to boil again! FUCK THIS SHIT!!!!!!!

I'll take the over only because Rahm is disingenuous and could only admit a mistake due to a public outcry. Sadly, probably due to media indifference until recent, the public does not seem to be aroused.

Stop with the schnkel for supt. the guy couldn't run the academy let alone the whole dept. he was a huge hypocrite and would be the worst of the last 3 supt.If mC whatever leaves Tracy will take his place, rhambo doesn't trust chgo guys.

"There were more homicides this year in Chicago than in New York, a city with three times the population. That means Chicagoans were proportionally 3.7 times more likely to be homicide victims than New Yorkers were in 2012."

...so that means we need to copy New York City's gun laws.

McCarthy just put it out on radio news, sound bite "Now, take New York. New York has strict gun laws."

Garry McLair, Mcnutsack, McGraspingAtStraws, McBimbo, Mcthemayordoesntmicromanageme, McJersey, McCompstat, Mcshithole, Mcwifebeater, Mcwifecheater, Mcrahmsbitch. Will be fired or resign from the Chicago Police Department as of the 01 January 2013 and will run the security for Chicago Public Schools.

Rahm's North Shore values don't seem to be working here in Chicago. I guess you can't lie and swindle your way into lower homicide numbers. Telling savages to take it to the alley didn't seem to work too well either.

Could there be a reasonable solution like, I don't know, hiring more police and not wasting money on Cease Fire convicts who do nothing?

-ERI-ASA looking over your interview. "Ask him this or that."-Endless Felony Review To Do list-Begging witnesses to come to the Area to wait for the ASA for four hours to make a decision whether to write his statement-Then finding the same winesses for more interviews or the grand jury-25 page reports-Police shootings where most of the POLICE say they didn't see anything-30 page reports-waiting for the one man Crime Lab on a winter scene for 3 hours-aunties constantly calling and asking why did the multiple convicted just released victim get kilt.

Rahm should be returning from Viet Nam soon. He's been there and probably courted their Minister of Public Security, Nguyen Duc Nhanh, as a replacement for Mc499. The entire country claims less annual murders than Englewood had in (any) July. Mc499 spouted off that the media "shouldn't be announcing death tolls Vietnam style, it makes "us" look bad."Leave him alone with a Mr. McMicrophone and this is what we get. So funny I LOL'd out loud.

who do you replace gmac with ????--- possum head and the situation ran all the good bosses off and we know that bringing in bosses from outside the cpd has not worked--- the cpd needs leadership and gmac is not delivering the goods....

Get the money back from Ceasefire, get rid of McCarthy, hire more cops. Let cops take the gloves off. Get a contract, quit fucking with pensions and retirement ages. Truth in sentencing. Stop voting in all these liberal judges election after election. Problem solved.

Oh, this is a very busy working weekend -- not regarding homicide, but about "gay marriage."

This article is yet anther one that's like turning over a rock. The phrase "Illinois business leaders" has become code for "The Combine." I'm surprised Rahm's pal Bruce Rauner (huge "Democratic" contributor being groomed as next "Republican" governor) isn't mentioned here.

"I've called anywhere from nine to a dozen (CEOs)," Emanuel said. "And everybody is a personal 'yes.'

"The most important corporate backer may be Fred Eychaner, the Chicago media mogul and arts champion who...is the primary funder for the public relations campaign, which is managed by ASGK Public Strategies.

"Eychaner appears to be the largest Democratic donor in the 2012 election cycle, giving $14 million...another funder is Laura Ricketts, a co-owner of the Chicago Cubs, who set a goal of raising $1 million for Obama this election cycle...

"But ASGK's behind-the-scenes role is new, and the trio of nonprofits is not paying what must be a significant sum for ASGK's services. (David Axelrod co-founded ASGK and then sold his stake in 2009 after becoming a top White House adviser to Obama.)

"Sssh sssh sssh dont look here look over there NOT here look over there NOT here look over there NOT here look look look over there over there oh-yes oh-yes oh-yes oh-no oh-no oh-no woo-hoo woo-hoo woo-hoo."

Let's be honest here folks. Bring back MSF and TRU. MSF officers are about as aggressive as can be. On a daily basis these young, dynamic and aggressive officers went in to some of the most dangerous neighborhoods and made their presence known.

Mr. Mayor if you want the murder rate to decline, then bring back MSF & TRU.

Rahmbo used that full confidence line on our ex Bd. of Ed guy too. Shortly thereafter the guy was gone. Expect the same fate for McFailure. The problem will be that most likely Rahm will seek a like minded individual to continue on with Rahm's agenda of fucking with us and further destroying this once great department.

"How many of the dead are due to assault rifles and how many due to handguns?"

12/28/2012 06:23:00 AM

"Exactly 1 (one) is by rifle and it doesn't say whether it is an assault rifle or not. Doesn't matter, Rahm can get political mileage out of it for future runs at high political office..."

...or lateral moves back into banking/deleterious NGOs while steering events along through the Inner Party Rolodex. These people are on 20 corporate boards at once.

Look at the Queen Ant, Valerie Jarrett -- the one that's inextricably set up 15 feet under your front lawn with tens of thousands of workers scurrying around her, grooming her with their feelers and feeding her "honeydew."

"Valerie Jarrett was born in Shiraz, Iran to American parents, James E. Bowman and Barbara Taylor Bowman...she married Dr. William Robert Jarrett, son of famed Chicago Sun-Times reporter Vernon Jarrett...Vernon Jarrett was a one time political associate of Communist Party USA activist and Obama mentor Frank Marshall Davis...Valerie Jarrett is the great niece of prominent Democratic Party leftist Vernon Jordan...Her maternal grandfather was Robert Taylor, the first black chairman of the Chicago Housing Authority...went to the exclusive University of Chicago Lab School...went to work for Chicago’s first African-American mayor, Harold Washington...stayed on under his successor, Richard Daley...she...recruited Michelle Robinson, then engaged to Barack Obama..."

Here we find the very namesake of the projects. Unbelievable.

On, and on, and on -- money and power and connections beyond counting and still grabbing, clawing, clutching for more, more, more...

this is how Tiny and the streetlightmarksman do it with the #'sthis will be standard issue in the future for police superintendentshere it is!: http://www.magickits.com/Vincent-The-Magician-Kit-w-Video-Instructions.htmljust wave your "wand" and Wa-La crime is down

I Know Area North is hiding a couple til after the new year! How bout the other areas? Those casinos are for the kids!Right?That's the nail right on the head these are mental health issues and thats where the time and effort should go.Actually had a citizen call the area asking about how homicides are counted. Sheeple waking up?

Rahm: hey Garry, we hit 500?GMac: Uh, yeah.....Rahm: well, dammit, take one off....make some poor slob a death investigation!GMac:....uh, okay.....but, we just one or two more.....now what?Rahm:..I'll tell you now what!...how can I get to the White House leading the nation in homicides?.....well, I'll do like Barry...just give stuff away to folks who kind of....just vote for folks who give them stuff....

Yes, the McCarthy haters are in full swing, but nothing will happen. Homicides are up in this town, the highest wince 2008, but few recall when in the 70s and 80s we had well over 800 and some years over 900. Who was the superintendent then ? Who complained? Was anyone demoted or moved? Do you really think that anyone who is currently in a leadership position could do any better under the circumstances? Do you want Uncle Terry back or Fat Phil or Rodriguez or any of the other politcal hacks that Daley appointed? This town has the biggest gang problem in the country which drives the homicide rate. No one under these circumstances would do any better. Such whinning is exhausting.Dont forget, McCarthy is doing the same thing that the commish or NUPD is doing, the same strategy, the same philosophy. We have more cops per capita then the next top five cities. Blame the judges and prosecutors for some of this.Blame the merit promotion system. Why hang everything on the head of a professional cop and a damn good cop, McCarthy. And, no, I am not related and I do not know him.

Anonymous said... The murder rate is going to make rahm emanuel look real bad if he decides to run for president. He has no credibility to fight crime because he doesn't know what he's doing and neither does McCarthy.

12/30/2012 02:04:00 AMThank you for your insight and professional opinion. Since you know so much why dont you run for mayor or ask the mayor to be the next superintendent or start a consulting firm? I am sure people will flock to your doors?

Get the money back from Ceasefire, get rid of McCarthy, hire more cops. Let cops take the gloves off. Get a contract, quit fucking with pensions and retirement ages. Truth in sentencing. Stop voting in all these liberal judges election after election. Problem solved.

Give me a break with Schenkel is a marine, make him supe. WTF does being a marine have to do with it. Hillard gets vilified on here, he was a Marine. A person can lead or they can't. Every Marine isn't superman, and believe me I respect all service (I was in the Army) no matter the branch. People are all over the map, Weis, not a cop but years in law enforcement, universally hated (I was not a fan). Schenkel, not a cop, no PD experience except the Academy and OEMC. I like the guy but which is it? Ex police or not? Through the ranks or outsider. I think that no matter who is in charge, the disgruntled will hate him or her.

Let me ask a question of all the Hillard, cline, Weis and McCarthy haters. Has there ever been a supe that you liked?

Almost every one of these mass murders there's a suicidal person behind them. So what does Rahm do? He closes mental health centers that may intervene in time and sends up an assault weapon ban smokescreen.

Nice job jackazz. What are you retarded?

................

These places were closed because there's no money to fund them. No city money, no state money, no federal money. Also insurance carriers won't pay for in patient mental health treatment (most of the time). For governmental agencies to pay means higher taxes. Are you willing to pay?

Now, if we could get the Maggie park money and the cease fire money and the flower pot money we MIGHT be able to reopen a mental health facility or two to reopen.

Glad to hear your son is going to be ok,,that's the most important thing. As far as the bill goes, it's still free. I'm sorry, but I forgot were, but on a department computer, you can get a form that needs to be filled out. It states were it needs to be sent to, but untill they get the B/S will keep coming. Similar situation with me, but it worked out. Good luck

Just go to RBT or SVU and avoid all this bullshit.

A great post. To be honest the only good thing about homicide is the victim. Usually they won't fuck up the case. Used to be best job in the city. Now you get micromanaged from 35 th st so much it's a joke. You have to convince yourself to not care about 98% of the victims.

PS a 1 month old dead today on south east side. Some head trauma 1 month olds can't even move it didn't do it to itself don't expect this to be a murder area south can't take another open homicide.

12/30/2012 09:03:00 AM First off, good luck with your son. I wish you the best. As to the ambulancebill, call the number on the bill. They will give you the number to the proper person at the city. They will explain the one page very simple form that you need to fax or mail in and the bill is taken care. I have a daughter with issues and I needed an ambulance about a year ago. The day after receiving the bill it was cleared with under 10 minutes of minimal effort. I too am CPD.

09:30 Maybe instead of having your blood boil, one of you should just look in YOUR contract. Section 25.3 states that police officers and their eligible dependants get free ambulance service. You seem very naive about the world if you think the city can fire you for THEM violating the contract and you should tell the collection agency to quit calling you as you owe the city nothing, that they should call the city Glad you child is doing fine

To: 0903 hrs. I'm glad your Son is doing better. The City will pay the entire bill. Call Human Resources # (312) 745-5300 and ask them to mail you the form for CFD bill. Fill it out, attach a copy of the bill and hand carry it to Human Resources. You can give it to Civ. Hazel Darden and she will process it. Make yourself a copy for your records. Have a healthy, safe and happy New Year and thank you for everything you and your Wife do for all of us.

Thanks cfd for jamming a copper last night....let police do their job on scene and not demand to dui someone...we do not do your job for you....

12/30/2012 07:17:00 AM

Ok so a police officer was driving while under the influence and somehow it is someone else's fault? How about if you don't want to lose your job then you act like a responsible adult? I am sure he is going to find another job with the same wages and benefits as this one right?

It's so much safer in Chicago since Rahm shut down those mental health centers don't you think?

"Beller suffered burns to 90 percent of his body and was listed in critical condition at Mount Sinai before also being taken to Stroger. Two women, 60 and 84, were taken in fair-to-serious condition to Saint Anthony Hospital.

Authorities said the fire was being investigated as an arson, and that it appears someone poured an accelerant around the apartment and possibly on the children. Relatives have told investigators that someone in the house had mental issues and had threatened to burn down the house, according to authorities, citing preliminary information. "

Schenkel won't get to be new Supt cuz he'd intimidate 9.5 and emasculate McNoballs. Gary was my ADS in 026 over 10 years ago.

Went through this after an on the job crash and had a concussion, 3days in hospital. The city is a joke and can care less who you are. Best thing is to turn it over to your insurance, it's not a battle you want to undertake, it will get dirty.

Hope they throw Rahm in the Hanoi Hilton. Eating bug soup sweetened with V/C urine will strengthen his Crusade to Socialize the City of Chicago! Don't help the poor better themselves , take the middle class and make them poor! Then they will become more dependent on the Government!

I really have to hand it to our district intelligence officers (aka commander drivers/coffeemakers/etc) they really got fine information not one has lead to a single arrest or stopped a gang bang shooting, sleeping with the enemies.

FOP can point you to the right person to forward your bambulance bill too. I had to do that to get it erased. Only took once.

On Sunday December 17, 2012, 2 days after the CT shooting, a man went to a restaurant in San Antonio to kill his X-girlfriend. After he shot her, most of the people in the restaurant fled next door to a theater. The gunman followed them and entered the theater so he could shoot more people. He started shooting and people in the theater started running and screaming. It’s like the Aurora, CO theater story plus a restaurant!

Now aren’t you wondering why this isn’t a lead story in the national media along with the school shooting?

There was an off duty county deputy at the theater. SHE pulled out her gun and shot the man 4 times before he had a chance to kill anyone. So since this story makes the point that the best thing to stop a bad person with a gun is a good person with a gun, the media is treating it like it never happened.

Only the local media covered it. The city is giving her a medal next week. Just thought you’d like to know.

You have two options, one will help the other won't.

#1 Go to your district and get the form you send to the city for your ambulance bill, or

That is not flat-affect; it's a trick taught by personal coaches and media coaches. If you raise your voice barely above a whisper and smile, people lean in toward you and they hang on your every (barely-perceptible) word. It's an attention-concentrating device.

Yup. Bloomie slapped Rahm down on the Charlie Rose show a couple of weeks ago. This is the show Rahm used to announce his desire for the not-then-available Chicago mayoral position.

STILL LOVE HOW LOW L.A.'S NUMBERS ARE COMPARED TO OUR... not even to mention the fact that their population is larger than ours,,, if we had LA weather in chicago, we would be pushing 1,000 murders easy

I'm a citizen and read the blog so I know the true story about crime in the city. After seeing you officers treat each other so rudely on here for months (see above for most recent example), I have to finally ask, how you can expect citizens the average Joe to respect you when you treat each other with such disdain and disrespect? Very disheartening to see.

The response by 10:55 pm is uncalled for. If you won't respectfully help two fellow officers, why would I think you'd be any help to me if I ever need it?

Of course the way you treat each other also tells me there can't possibly be a "code of silence." You don't respect each other enough to cover for one another.

Anonymous said...09:30 Maybe instead of having your blood boil, one of you should just look in YOUR contract. Section 25.3 states that police officers and their eligible dependants get free ambulance service. You seem very naive about the world if you think the city can fire you for THEM violating the contract and you should tell the collection agency to quit calling you as you owe the city nothing, that they should call the city Glad you child is doing fine

A contract is between decent honorable people. O'Neill, MLAS and the management of COD do not count as decent or honorable and must frequently be forced to live up to the provisions of the contract.

OEMC is a JOKE said...Schenkel won't get to be new Supt cuz he'd intimidate 9.5 and emasculate McNoballs. Gary was my ADS in 026 over 10 years ago. The guy is smart, friendly, professional, and wood kick most excepts behinds. It makes far too much sense to have a decorated marine run the show. Colonel is good peeps!!!!!

What a no spelling ass kissing lackey you are. Cline booted that silly mf'er out the door remember?This is the guy that has ran and screwed up OEMC now you want to give this idiot a chance at destroying CPD?No thank you take that hoo rah propaganda elsewhere.

12/30/2012 08:41:00 PM

Anyone Cline booted out is very likely a very decent person and worthy of our respect. Look up in the blog all the poison shit that was written about bosses Cline promoted.

"... It was December 1, 2008. That morning would be the first time that the Chicago City Council would be formally notified that Mayor Richard Daley had struck a deal with Morgan Stanley to lease all of Chicago's parking meters for seventy-five years. The final amount of the bid was $1,156,500,000, a lump sum to be paid to the city of Chicago for seventy-five years' worth of parking meter revenue. "

What happened to all that money so that it caused the rate to go through the roof>>>>!

Very disheartening to see.

The fact of the matter is that the average Joe citizen doesn't respect us and we don't expect him to. We have actually come to accept the fact that nobody respects us anymore. We do our jobs and we go home. The citizens are just another turd in the giant pile of shit we wade through everyday. We'll get there when you call us (although it might take awhile since we're so short handed) but don't expect us to care about your problems when we do, because we don't. This current police department is what society wanted and it's what society deserves. The media, politicians, brass, judges, and citizens in general created this department slowly over the last few decades by chipping away at morale and treating the criminals better than the police. You made your bed, now lay in it.

My wife and I are both CPD. Our son suffers from seizures which most of the time we can handle. But our 6 year old son had an episode where he wasn't coming around. We called 911 and CFD responded IMMEDIATELY! Stabilized our son and took him to the Hospital where he was admitted for 3 days. Thank you from the bottoms of our hearts CFD!!! Our beef is that we assumed the city waived ambulance fees for FAMILY of CPD and CFD. Keep getting threatening notices from the city that we will be sued or loose our jobs! We both work in districts where numerous idiots are shot every fuckin day. Do they pay for services rendered by CFD? Sorry but blood starting to boil again!

I cant agree more with this citizen. What should be a forum for voicing opinions on what is occurring in the department is far too often a forum for talking down to fellow officers and retirees and treating them with disrespect.Seems dome people think they have all of the answers and those that dont agree with them are asshats

Ok so a police officer was driving while under the influence and somehow it is someone else's fault? How about if you don't want to lose your job then you act like a responsible adult? I am sure he is going to find another job with the same wages and benefits as this one right?

Oh, please! Toughen up a little bit there, Sally. 10:55 used no profanity or insults and gave them solid direction and good advice, so stop complaining.

You came here merely to confirm your existing prejudices and to snipe.

Yes, the McCarthy haters are in full swing, but nothing will happen. Homicides are up in this town, the highest wince 2008, but few recall when in the 70s and 80s we had well over 800 and some years over 900. Who was the superintendent then ? Who complained? Was anyone demoted or moved? Do you really think that anyone who is currently in a leadership position could do any better under the circumstances? Do you want Uncle Terry back or Fat Phil or Rodriguez or any of the other politcal hacks that Daley appointed? This town has the biggest gang problem in the country which drives the homicide rate. No one under these circumstances would do any better. Such whinning is exhausting.Dont forget, McCarthy is doing the same thing that the commish or NUPD is doing, the same strategy, the same philosophy. We have more cops per capita then the next top five cities. Blame the judges and prosecutors for some of this.Blame the merit promotion system. Why hang everything on the head of a professional cop and a damn good cop, McCarthy. And, no, I am not related and I do not know him.

BECAUSE MCGOOF HAS CAUSED CONSTANT KAOS IN THE DEPT SINCE HE TOOK OVER,HE IS A OUTSIDER WITH NO CLUE ON CRIME IN CHICAGO WHICH HE PROVED,ITS SAD JFED PUT HIM TO SHAME.

New Supe? how about Lovie Smith, he needs a job. Seems like a nice guy, nothing seems to bother him- the world is falling apart around him and he don't seem to mind. Can you see him running a comcrap meeting? Murders up? Robberies up? Theft Up? No, No we're fine, we're staying the course, we're one piece away from a crime free society... ya know he sounds like Mcdummy. Disregard

If people on this job have a specific problem, there are plenty of knowledgable people on this job to ask for help.

Posting here and hoping that 1 out of 100 replies is the one your looking for is a silly way to solve a problem.

how about a supe that...1) knows Chicago2) knows the CPD3) willing and able to tell City Hall, and the politicians, to go to hell....4) knows enough history about the current exempts, to dump about 75% of them, and that's for starters...5) reorganize the CPD, streamline the units, recreate the citywide teams...6) prior to assigning and promoting, have folks submit to a forensic personnel and background check (i.e., family and friends, personal relationships (marriage, divorce, parenting, etc.), financial background, investments, real estate interests, political connections, etc.)....then......talk about transparency.....put it all out there for the public to see....

Because you won't know shit else but 911 when something very large and ugly is smiling at you as it climbs through your window?

Some predators "toy" with their prey... Just so you know. Nevermind that smell. It's just you shitting on yourself in fear.

You see... It's like this. You've been taught that fighting back is wrong. You believe that everyone should be able to sit and work out their differences.

We, The Police on the other hand?

A precious too few of us are from another time. and place. We grew up native to this city. Toughness, common sense and street smarts were pounded into us at a very young age.

We grew up around men who made no bones about fighting, defending and protecting something.

And women who would kick the asses of the men who fell short.

You're under the influence of mincing, tip-toeing, smooth skinned, euro-weenies with tits who shy from conflict because it's "bad."

You sell the mean and insensitive, blue collar Coppers (who are all "mad" because it isn't 1960 anymore) awfully short don't you?

You should be on your bald and naked knees thanking whatever diety, spirit or wood-imp at whatever chapel, clearing in the woods or voodoo kitchen you devote yourself to, that The Policemen you're so convinced you can do without, managed to hang on this long in the face of concentrated adversity.

Such as it is, it will be YOUR ASS numbered among the ones devoured first...

06:41 No 6 on your list is none of the CPD's business. They do not need to know my financial background, my investments, real estate investments and for sure none of my personal relationships, my family and friends. This should be investigated. I have nothing to hide but my business is my business and my friends should not be subjected to anything from the CPD My parenting skills should be judged by who? are they subjectiveThe public has no right to see anything about our public livesYou are an idiot

12/31/2012 06:24:00 AM

I made no bed. Have never voted Democrat in my life. I sincerely hope you do not reflect the the majority of CPD because with your attitude, you do not deserve to be counted among Chicago's Finest

Yes, Off Conspiracy Theory. That's why I'm here. I think YOU are the one with prejudices. Glad you're not my bear cop. He's, as you say, the REAL police.

Thats a bs story that copper is saying about cfd making him DUI another copper. . That jaggoff copper just got a cr number on another police officer and is fucking hated by everyone in the district.

he is not hated by everyone in the district..he got a number on a cop who has arrested other policemen's children, got multiple cr#s on other coppers and bosses...and who is a piece of shit who shouldn't even be wearing the uniform ...in terms of the dui, it was cfd"s fault...maybe if you are ever in that position and are given a direct order to arrest one of us, let see what you are going to do monday quarterback...gfy!

OK, who's next? WHo would you put in as boss? ANd don't say Lovie. HAHA

"There were more homicides this year in Chicago than in New York, a city with three times the population. That means Chicagoans were proportionally 3.7 times more likely to be homicide victims than New Yorkers were in 2012."

...so that means we need to copy New York City's gun laws.

McCarthy just put it out on radio news, sound bite "Now, take New York. New York has strict gun laws."

There it is.

Bloomberg/Emanuel/McCarthy -- one gun-banning mind, one voice.

---

Let's get on ehting straight about the Chgo/NYC thing -> NYC is about 1.5 times the size (granted 3x the population, 3x the police force - about)

but 39k cops are roaming around an area 1.5 times the size of Chicago.

That matters.

Also NYC has proprtionately WAY MORE DETECTIVES. 6k (about) of 39k are detectives.

about 7 to 1 ratio of cops to Dets.

In Chgo that ratio is about 10 to 1. About 10k cops and 900 Dets.

So NYC has far, far less geographical area to patrol, and way more Dets.

Hey McCalculator .... put those figures into the hopper and stare at 'em a bit.

(and granted again - a lot of NYC Dets. are in narcotics and such ... but still)

Gary Schenkel USMC New SUPTAmem to that. Could you see him in front of the reverends, (small r intended)and what he would say to He'd probably get on his knees, in front of he reverneds in prayer of course and tell themless police more dispatchersHiring dispatchers and TMA's from their churches did him a world of good, and that police are gonna answer EVERY call dispatched no matter how stupidthen he'd sip from the chalice of holy kool aide and be forever in their debt, amen.

He told him first where to go to solve his problem, and then told him to stop searching on a blog. Good advice both times. You are a softer-than-puppy-shit dweeb. Men and women who deal with the dark side of humanity post here. That takes a certain type of person which you are not. We might speak to each other bluntly, but we will always back each other in a way you will never understand as an outsider.

We don't have time for little sissies like you to come on here and give us lessons in etiquette. Now I know that I just got your panties in a bunch, but it was done for a reason. You were never in the military, as you would have grown accustomed to such communication and ball busting, and you are not a cop. So kindly shut the fuck up and be glad that these men and women will come to the aid of your sorry ass when the time comes. Because God knows that your pansy little ass won't confront an attacker when he spots your passive little pussy face.

Now have a nice day, Sally, and just for kicks, go get your shine box.

the wonderful thing about living in America is....everyone has a right to express their opinions.....now, one might say, folks have a great right to personal privacy...others might say....if society allows someone to have the right to deprive another human being of their freedom (i.e., arrest), and/or, under certain circumstances, take their life (i.e., deadly force), then maybe, society should know a lot more about that someone than the average person....maybe that individual should be held to a much higher standard than anyone else......just sayin'

You now have the information to get the bill paid per FOP (or PB&PA) contract.

Part of the problem is coppers now don't have the gray-haired old timers to ask questions anymore. When I was working I must have answered that same question several times a year by people I was working with and we went to a computer, got the form and chatted for a few minutes, do you need help with anything else?

I think you mean, public has no right to see anything about our >>> private lives. <<<

What I do while working is one thing; it stops at my front door, my wife (or husband, significant other, life partner), child, church, phone, PC. I refuse to be treated as a second class citizen or with a double standard.

Cline also had him escorted out of the building after he fired him. That was a terrible insult to a man who served his country for many years. Say what you will about him, but he didn't deserve that kind of treatment.
